Where do i get my green eyes from im black !!!!????

Question

im brown skinned

both parents are black

my brothers have regular brown eyes

have whtie on both sides of the family and irish

people stare so d**n much some with astonishment some with whoa

Answer 1

You said it; from your white & irish family.

They must have colored eyes.

Eventhough ur mom & dad both have brown..they still have those genes.

Idk why ure so worried! Im sure people dont stare because it's ugly; they stare because its hot!

hahaha

:)

Answer 2

genetics are very strange sometimes. u have white on both sides, so i'm guessing that both ur parents carry the trait of green eyes & boom, there ya go. be happy tho. green eyes are very pretty =)

Answer 3

A couple of people on this topic sound so ignorant. Honey, you are about as mixed as the rest of the black people in this country and your eye color could seriously be traced from ANYWHERE. Being of partial Irish ancestry might not even be where you got green eyes from, and unless you do a full background check of your family tree.....you will never know. Until then, don't be fooled by the pseudo-intellectual people who are pretend like they know EXACTLY where you got your green eyes from....they don't know anything more about genetics than you do.

Answer 4

It's from your White Ancestry.

It's not rare, but it's not common... There are alot of blacks (esp. American) with white ancestry in them with lighter color eyes.

And there are blacks who have a bit of White ancestry, but it's not so much common for their eyes to be a different color. But when they are, they are mostly green/gray/light brown. The reason people find it so odd is because most black kids with green, or any colored eyes that aren't directly mixed have lighter skin than brown. But maybe your skin is more of a golden brown.... Oh well. :p

I would say maybe you have Albinism in your eyes, but then they would be blue, like this beautiful Black baby boy..

Answer 5

idk but it sounds hott!

Answer 6

well, you have white blood so that says a lot. but most black americans have white ancestry. on the other hand, its not only white folks that have light colored eyes. for example: my sister has hazel eyes, my little brother has dirty blonde hair and my other sister has curly hair and they are all of vietnamese descent. it just goes to show you that racial groups cannot be generalize in terms of genetics. you do not even need white blood to have light colored eyes, i know a lot of indians, afghans and kazhaks with light colored eyes.

ps. i know a lot of black people who have light colored eyes, its pretty common.

Answer 7

both my parents are black with brown eyes and black hair

i have very golden brown hair and bright green eyes and i have a very light complexion

and my brother is dark with green eyes and so is 1 of my sisters...

it just happens sometimes =]

Answer 8

Eye color is genetic. You got it from your parents. Though they do not have green eyes, they each carry a recessive green-eye gene. And you got one from your dad, and one from your mom. Thus, having both genes, and having green eyes.

Answer 9

you get it from your white relatives. its rare  consider yourself lucky because most mixed guys would kill for your eyes i know i would i'm stuck with dark brown and the irish are known for there green eyes so you probably get from them
